Nearly 5 months and stopped making cooing noises

My daughter is 5 months in a week.
A couple of months ago she was making cooing noises but I have just noticed that she hasn't been making any noises lately.
She has had colds on and off for a couple of months. She started to roll from back to front a few days ago. She is on gaviscon for silent reflux and cries a lot although usually stops when I walk around holding her. She smiles at me and is staring to laugh. She is also going through a phase of blowing raspberries. I looked online and am really worried about her not making any noiseshas anyone got any similar experiences? Could there be something wrong? Thank you for any help.

My daughter is 6 months old and I find she has noisier and quieter stages based on what else is going on. If she is trying to perfect her rolling/sitting etc then she seems to be quieter until she has that skill down. I think they tend to focus on 1 skill at a time. I wouldn't worry (easier said than done, I know). My daughter also went through the constantly blowing raspberries stage and I took it as a good sign that she was practicing using different mouth muscles.

Agree with PP. She's just doing something different at the moment. They get very repetitive on the latest skill, then move on to the next. She's probably figuring out astrophysics!

My DD hardly made any noises, then as she approached her birthday and beyond it's been amazing! She learns a new word pretty much every day! I was a bit worried back when she was little but now she's always announcing whatever she sees hehe
